Ethan and Rory are the main characters, leading the mystery of finding the key to go back to the original world. They will both fall in love creating a plot twist in the story.
Ethan would have an outgoing personality and knows how to survive in the genre and has a lot of survival skills. He is really smart but can be seen as the stubborn type of guy because he plays football and is popular.
Rory is very outgoing and is an extrovert. She had a little crush on Ethan but since she thought Mellisa liked Ethan she was hurt making her go quiet from an apart of the story. But as the conflict happens Rory and Ethan got to talk making them fall in love. Ethan falls in love with Rory because he sees that Rory is special and she is not like the other people, she finds herself talking a lot and having creative imagination.
The rest of the characters are just there to build suspense and make it seem like there is something in the story. They don’t really get introduced in the story but they get introduced as a group. But they are all quite introverted and selfish that’s why Ethan sees Rory because she is nice and kind.
